UltraSIL® polymer-housed
VariSTAR® type U4 surge arrester for
systems through 275 kV IEC
20 kA; line discharge Class 4
General
Eaton has set a new standard of excellence for polymer-housed
station-class surge arresters. Enhancements in arrester design
allow Eaton to offer increased cantilever strength and improved
energy handling capability. Eaton's Cooper Power™ series
UltraSIL® polymer-housed VariSTAR® Type U4 station-class
arresters incorporate the industry recognized superior silicone
rubber housing with a unique high creep alternating shed profile
designed to withstand the most extreme environments. The
"standard" silicone rubber housing is designed with a minimum
specific creepage distance of 31 mm/kV L-L, which meets
category IV (Very Heavy) pollution level according to the IEC
standard. This housing is applied over a gapless MOV internal
design.
Eaton's Type U4 arresters meet or exceed the requirements of
IEC 60099-4 Rev 2009.

Construction
The unique construction of UltraSIL polymer-housed Class 4
arresters begins with world class Metal Oxide Varistor (MOV)
disks produced at our manufacturing facility in Olean, NY. By
manufacturing our own disks we maintain a strict quality control
over the entire pro­duction process, from initial raw material
inspection to final physical and electrical testing of each disk.
In addition, by controlling the manufacturing process of both
disks and arresters, we achieve the optimal combination. Eaton
produces MOV disks of unsurpassed quality through continuous
improvements in disk formulation and manufacturing technology.
The end result is a long history of in-service use with outstanding
durability and protective capability.
Arrester production begins by stacking glass-collared MOV disks
in series with aluminum end electrodes. Our proprietary process
wraps the assembly with a high-strength woven fiberglass-
reinforced epoxy composite. When cured, the arrester module
is capable of withstanding high electrical and cantilever load
conditions.
The UltraSIL silicone rubber housing utilizes an interference fit
and is bonded onto the internal module to form a solid, void-free,
high-dielectric strength insulation system. Once the housing is in
place, each arrester must pass a strict series of electrical tests to
insure the highest level of in-service performance.
The silicone rubber housing results in lighter weight than similarly
rated porcelain housed arresters. The silicone rubber housing
is also less sensitive to physical damage than porcelain. Also,
when compared to other polymeric housing materials, silicone
rubber generates significantly lower external power losses under
contaminated conditions.

Features
The UltraSIL silicone rubber housing was chosen for its superior
insulation performance when compared to other polymeric
housing materials. Long term environmental testing has verified
the superiority of UltraSIL silicone rubber when compared to other
polymeric insulating materials.
Independent laboratory tests have verified the superior water
repellent behavior of silicone rubber, which is responsible for the
lower external power losses, higher resistance to UV degradation
and surface tracking, superior performance in contaminated
environments, and other important insulating properties. Also,
UltraSIL silicone rubber has been proven not to support biological
growth and is non-flammable.
The basic silicone rubber housed arrester can be customized with
a variety of terminal and mounting options which allow users
to select the features that meet their application needs. The
"standard" silicone rubber housing is designed with a minimum
specific creepage distance of 31 mm/kV L-L, but if additional
creepage is required, please contact your Eaton representative for
customized options.
Operation
The operation of the VariSTAR arrester is typical of gapless metal
oxide arresters. During steady state conditions, line-to-earth
voltage is continuously across the arrester terminals. When
overvoltages occur, the VariSTAR arrester immediately limits the
overvoltage to the required protective level by conducting only the
necessary level of surge current to earth. Upon passage of the
overvoltage condition, the arrester returns to its initial condition,
once again conducting only minimal leakage current.
UltraSIL polymer-housed VariSTAR Class 4 arresters are ideal for
the protection of critical substation apparatus in areas of moderate
lightning incidence and for protection against switching surges
generated on transmission systems.
Pressure relief tests have been conducted in accordance with IEC
60099-4 to demonstrate the UltraSIL polymer-housed VariSTAR
Class 4 arrester’s ability to withstand fault currents for specific
durations.
Design testing
The housing material, internal components and hardware work
as a system to withstand years of exposure to environmental
extremes. To assure a superior level of performance, the
components and the assembled arrester unit have been subjected
to a testing program that accurately simulates years of exposure
to field conditions. Tests include:
IEC 60099-4 Testing - Full Certification to performance
requirements by an independent laboratory has been completed. A
certified test report is available upon request.
Additional design verification of the UltraSIL Housed VariSTAR
Class 4 Arrester includes testing for:
• Ultraviolet Withstand
• High Voltage Dielectric Integrity
• Wet Arc Tracking Resistance
• Thermal Shock
• Coefficients of Expansion and Materials Compatibility
• Cantilever Strength
• Terminal Torque

General application recommendations studies.

The rating of an arrester is the maximum power-frequency line-
to-earth voltage at which the arrester is designed to pass the
IEC operating duty test. Table 2 provides a general guide for
the selection of the proper arrester for a given system voltage.
Eaton application engineers are available to make specific system
application recommendations.
Figure 2 also illustrates the arrester’s TOV capabilities with and
without prior switching surge duties of up to a maximum capability
of 10 kJ/ kV of COV (Uc)-single impulse and 12 kJ/kV of COV (Uc)-
double impulse.
To assure proper application the following information is normally
required:

1. Maximum system operating voltage.

Selection of arrester rating
2. System grounding conditions.
In arrester rating selection it is preferable to determine the lowest
arrester rating that will ensure satisfactory operation. This is the a. For four-wire circuits, grounding conditions depend upon

or resonant grounding and other systems where the line-to-earth
voltages exceed this stated TOV capability, arresters having a COV
(Uc) equal to line-to line voltage may be required.
For non-sinusoidal transient voltages caused by system
switching operations a transient network analyzer (TNA) study
is recommended; Eaton engineers are available to make these

Nameplate information
A stainless steel nameplate is at­tached to the base of every UltraSIL polymer-
housed Type U4 arrester. The arrester catalog number, serial number, year of
manufacture, Ur, Uc, and pressure relief rating are among the details provided on
the nameplate. See Figure 6 for an example of a base nameplate. For multi-unit
arresters an additional nameplate is provided on the base as shown in Figure 7.
